Yes, I looked there and gave the command you wrote, and it worked. Giving
echo "performance" > scaling_governor
raised it back to 1.2ghz.
It accepts when I give it "userspace", but nothing changes. It just stays
at whatever frequency it was when I gave the command. "ondemand", however,
is listed via 'cat scaling_avaiable_govenors', but it does not accept it
when I attempt to change it.
At least now I can change it manually, so now it looks like getting
pbbuttons or pmud or cpufreqd to change it when the power source changes.
Any ideas for that?
